From the recording Hastings End
Lyrics
DREAM LINER
Take the day train
Ooh-wah-ooh
Look at the window
This scenery makes no sense
It jumps from town to town
Nothing connects
It’s got me by the rhythm
The frequency of change
Each view a fragment
I can’t rearrange
This train’s going nowhere
This train’s going fast
The stations are a blur
I don’t want to grasp
These towns are all plasticine
This car’s a sleeper
It’s like an iso-tank
Over the speaker
The voices really frank
All in third person
It’s a rambling monologue
From what to invest in
To what to feed your dog
Now I’m in space
And I can see the earth
This light’s fantastic
I’m tripping through the birth
Of age old notions
And ancient mono things
There’s only one of
And the success it brings
